‘Star Wars’: Mark Hamill Reveals He Made Out with Carrie Fisher

Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford, and Carrie Fisher became iconic stars after the success of Star Wars. Their characters’ relationships changed throughout the trilogy. In the beginning, there was even a possibility of a Luke and Leia romance until the reveal of them being related.

Apparently, the relationship behind the scenes of the movies between the actors was also a little complicated. Now the actors have opened up about their Star Warssecrets after all these years. Fisher previously wrote about one affair she had with a co-star. But now another co-star has revealed a flirtatious moment he had with the leading lady.

So what really went on between the leading cast? Here are seven things to know, including when Hamill says he made out with Fisher (page 5) and what happened next.

Fisher revealed in her memoir, The Princess Diarist, that she had an affair with Ford while they were working on Star Wars: A New Hope and said, “It was so intense.“At the time, she was 19 years old and Ford was 33 years old. The whole thing started after a birthday party for George Lucas.

“It was Han and Leia during the week, and Carrie and Harrison during the weekend,” Fisher told People. She then continued, “I was so inexperienced, but I trusted something about him” and “he was kind.”

Next: This is what happened when Fisher warned Ford she was writing about their relationship.

2. Fisher said she warned Ford she would write about their affair

This reveal didn’t come as a total surprise. “I told him I found the diaries, which I had not seen since I’d written them and that I was gonna publish them,” she told the Rolling Stone. “He just said, ‘lawyer.’ I told him he could take out anything he didn’t like. I sent it to him, but he never commented. I guess he didn’t loathe anything.”

When asked if she wished she had the affair with Hamill instead she answered, “NO! No. But I suppose I would have been able to laugh about it with him. That’s not something I can do with Harrison, though ‘lawyer’ was pretty funny. At least it acknowledged that it existed.”

The Luke Skywalker actor said he was bragging about his kissing skills to Fisher when it took a turn. “I said: ‘Well, I think I’m a fairly good kisser.
